Digital Yacht has introduced OneFix, a new high-performance GNSS (global navigation satellite system) sensor designed to deliver accurate positioning (typically better than 1m) improved resilience against interference.
The unit leverages multiple satellite constellations – including GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou and NAVIC – alongside dual-band (L1/L5) technology to provide more precise and stable fixes, particularly in challenging environments. Anti-spoofing algorithms are built in for more reliable navigation.
OneFix has been engineered for broad compatibility, able to integrate with legacy navigation systems as well as modern NMEA 2000 multifunction displays, tablets and mobile devices.
This flexibility allows boaters to upgrade existing setups without replacing entire systems.
The rollout of multi-band GNSS (the more formal name for all the different satellite networks including Glonass, Galileo, Beidou and NAVIC) has been one of the key developments in satellite navigation in recent years.
According to Digital Yacht, signals from some satellite networks are now transmitted on L1 and L5 bands and by utilising a sophisticated dual band GNSS, you’ll benefit from better accuracies and a more reliable fix in harsh conditions. Most traditional GPS’s, MFD’s and plotters just use L1 frequencies so can’t benefit from this latest technology.
OneFix incorporates a dual band (L1 and L5) processor and works with GPS, Galileo, NavIC and Beidou to calculate a fix. Glonass (the Russian-based system) is available as an option with a 2nd active antenna making for a very advanced system.
OneFix utilises an advanced algorithm to compare position fixes across all networks and frequencies to minimise spoofing and positional inaccuracies.
